ManGetOut: My 8th Blog of the year 2026

Well, welcome to our readers here in New Zealand, & around the world, I'm Whetu Ngapo & you're tuning in to my KiwiAvenger blog here on blogger, but first in the gaming department that I recently purchased the PSP version of Tekken 6 on both versions of the PS4 (The version that I mainly play) & the PS5 (Never played that version before) on the PS5 console where it's got that rewind feature meaning that you have to go back to correct that certain error just like in the Tekken 3 game that I already own, but I mainly play the 4 characters such as the current main protagonist of Jin Kazama (A traditional Kyokushin Karate-ka (Although his fighting style used to be Mishima Style Fighting Karate in Tekken 3, then abandoning it in favour of his current fighting style before the events of Tekken 4) who is an anti-hero of that game when he took over as the CEO of Mishima Zaibatsu from the clutches of the late Jinpachi Mishima at the end of Tekken 5), Lars Alexandersson (The Swedish Tekken Force officer & Yggdrasil rebel leader who is one of the new characters of that game with the fictional Tekken Force Martial Arts being his fighting style that is a blend of Shorinji Kempo karate, military close-quarters combat, and acrobatics, emphasizing speed, quick reversals (Like his signature backflip kicks and stomps), and flashy, unpredictable moves, though some find his techniques overly flashy and impractical for real combat, focusing on style over raw power. He uses dynamic entries, knife-hand punches, and lightning-infused attacks (Representing his Mishima bloodline energy) to pressure opponents with quick, high/low mix-ups and powerful launchers), as well as a skilled female martial artist from China who is a practitioner of the Baguazhang & Piguaquan fighting styles of Ling Xiaoyu, & the female astrologist from an unknown nationality who is an ally of Jin Kazama in the later Tekken games such as Tekken 8 of new character Zafina (And I also play the 2 female rivals of schoolgirls Asuka Kazama (The one who hails from Japan utilizing Kazama style Traditional Martial Arts) & Lili (A young lady from Monaco who utilises Monegasque-Gymnastic Street Fighting Style), & both male friends from the United States such as Marshall Law (Who is an American of Chinese descent, & is a Jeet Kune Do practitioner based on the famous late Chinese-American martial artist Bruce Lee) & Paul Phoenix (The one whose fighting style is Integrated Martial Arts based on Judo).

And secondly onto the music related stuff as the name of the band of the Foo Fighters comes from a Second World War term used by the pilots of the Allied forces for UFOs (Or unidentified flying objects, & I did not know the name UFO exactly came from), so the lead singer & rhythm guitarist of that band of former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl chose the name of his band due to the fact that he was in a UFO phase at the time, & found the term to be a fitting name to be honest, despite later joking that it was a one being rather stupid to say the least (He used to live in Virginia then Washington D.C. during the days of the Cold War that he experienced with).

And thirdly that it's is going to be a busy December indeed last year that I've put stuff on the whiteboard such as the late Carole's memorial lunch being set up at Frank Bar on December 6th at 12pm (Andy & Kels will be here on time along with the late Carole's mates of Gill & CJ, & possibly Kathryn because I thought she was going to turn up here on either March or April this year, but she didn't turn up to attend a funeral of her friend who passed away as a result of a terminal illness (Meanwhile Zaki came along with Martin to attend their sister's memorial service back up in Auckland), then the annual Whanganui Christmas Parade taking place at 2pm a day later on Sunday, December 7th, a day before Aunty Tan & Rejean's arrival to New Zealand on December 8th (10th here in Whanganui), & last but not least, Christmas day (AKA the real thing for which is 27 days away as of November 28th last year) is happening on December 25th for which will be my fave time of the year along with my birthday on June 7th, 2 days after Dad & 3 days before Aunty Tan's, & our first without the late Carole (She was last here at Dad's place during Christmas time in 2022, then she wasn't here in Whanganui in both 2023 when she was with me & Pops in Northland, & in 2024 that she was in the UAE with her bro Zaki).

And lastly in the motor racing department as New Zealander Liam Lawson will in fact remain at RB Racing Bulls for next season as he is joined by his new teammate of Britain's F2 star & CTFROC champion Arvid Lindblad who takes the race seat previously occupied by the Red Bull bound Frenchman Isack Hadjar who joins 4 time world champ Max Verstappen as his new teammate for this year (Although Lindblad is of both Indian descent through his mum & Swedish through his dad).

So that is my 656th blog of the year 2026 (MMXXVI) & my 8th of this year, viva Ukraine.

Today's Song: My 7th Blog of the year 2026

Well, welcome to our readers here in New Zealand, & around the world, I'm Whetu Ngapo & you're tuning in to my KiwiAvenger blog here on blogger, but first in the music department that the Foo Fighters have released a new song that came out in October last year called 'Asking for a Friend', for which the song has a much darker tone than 'Today's Song' according to that certain Wikipedia page that I saw, & is the first with new drummer Ilan Rubin being involved on drums to a Foo Fighters song.

And secondly in rugby related news such as the Women's Rugby World Cup winning player for the England Red Roses women of winger Abby Dow who announces her retirement from playing aged 28, it had been confirmed on the 27th of November last year as she was one of the outstanding finishers of her generation, with Dow scoring a half century of tries just like her English teammate Jess Breach in just 59 caps for her country, but she has an engineering degree & intends to make that her career according to the newspaper article taken from Whanganui Chronicle.

And thirdly that Aston Martin have appointed a new team principal for this season, & it's Adrian Newey who is the star designer & top technical boffin formerly from Williams, McLaren & Red Bull as he replaces Andy Cowell who will assume into a strategy role as the Silverstone based constructor announced the senior management restructuring in a statement ahead of the next Grand Prix event in Qatar for which hosts the penultimate championship of last season, before Abu Dhabi hosts the season ending event as Newey, who won 12 drivers (First Nigel Mansell, then Damon Hill, Jacques Villeneuve, Mika Hakkinen twice, Sebastian Vettel 4 times, & Max Verstappen 4 times) & 13 constructors championships for 3 different teams, joined Aston Martin from Red Bull earlier last year as a shareholder & a managing technical partner of the team also according to the Whanganui Chronicle newspaper article that I saw.

And finally in the gaming department as Gran Turismo 7 have finally released the largest update in the game's history with 2 new circuits including Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve in Canada, & the Yas Marina Circuit in the UAE (And I love them both), & 8 new cars that turned gamers heads including my 4 faves, such as the Ferrari 296 road car, then the Renault Espace F1, as well as the GT3 version of the Ferrari 296, & perhaps, the most significant one of this lot, the Gran Turismo F3500-B for that is inspired by early 90's Formula One machinery just like the F3500-A for which that latest GT7 update (For which includes the Power Pack DLC that costs NZ$49.99, but I managed to unlock the Ford Mustang 2015 American Racer car (Which is inspired by Trans-Am racing in America, but the option of both the spoiler & bodywork comes from NASCAR, & it is powered by a V8 engine just like Trans-Am, NASCAR, & the Supercars Championship therefore the Mustang is America's last true Muscle car since both the Dodge Challenger, & the Chevy Camaro had gone obsolete & extinct) that I unlocked it, then bought it 4 times) would have to be by far, the greatest gaming updates of all time! Especially as a gamer indeed for that one will be that I have ever played of my whole life in the gaming history books (And it is a perfect match for me).

So that is my 655th blog of the year 2026 (MMXXVI) & my 7th of this year, viva Ukraine.

Return of the Mack: My 6th Blog of the year 2026

Well, welcome to our readers here in New Zealand, & around the world, I'm Whetu Ngapo & you're tuning in to my KiwiAvenger blog here on blogger, but first in the rugby department such as Dutch born AB's rookie Fabian Holland (The one who learnt the English language by listening to Justin Marshall's commentary, & lived in our country for 5 years (He went to Christchurch Boys High where he studied & played rugby there, & once he left high school that he moved to Dunedin in 2021 a year before making his Super Rugby Pacific debut for the Highlanders in 2022) before becoming eligible last year when he made his test debut against France in Dunedin (But there was once a story about him as the man born in Alkmaar who witnessed the All Blacks sevens when they were doing a training session in the Netherlands back in 2014 that aspired him to become a rugby player) who had recently won World Rugby's breakthrough XV's player of the year (While the men's XV player of the year went to by far the best hooker in world rugby of Malcolm Marx (It used to be our own Dane Coles (The best hooker New Zealand ever produced because I thought it was Sean Fitzpatrick) before Marx took over from him since he has gone on to become South Africa's best hooker since the days of John Smit) of the world champions South Africa (Who had been crowned the team of the year because they ruled the rugby world this year as they secured back to back Rugby Championships, while the World Rugby men's XV gong went to Pieter-Steph du Toit (Player of the game against New Zealand during that dramatic 2023 men's Rugby World Cup final for which was the strangest ever due to a red card by our All Blacks skipper at the time (After originally being given a sin binning offence & on report before it was upgraded to a send off offence) & a no try decision against New Zealand due to a knock on in the scrum which was the most controversial that both the English referee & the English TMO fell victim to online hate therefore triggering a war on abuse on social media which is kind of like free speech as well as hate speech that has the rugby world crying red card for which was dreadful & shocking according to the estimates such as the previous blogs that I did) in 2024 who is the South African Dupont, but it's the 2nd straight year that a Springbok player had won the top award (Frenchman Dupont won it in 2021, then Irishman Josh van der Flier claimed it in 2022, & our own All Black Ardie Savea in 2023 before it was du Toit in 2024 (Who also won it back in 2019) & Malcolm Marx last year), as he beat the likes of Australia's Joseph Aukuso-Sua'ali'i, South Africa's Ethan Hooker, & young Englishman Henry Pollock (But we must be a Savea because of the fact that the rugby world is full of Duponts & du Toits just like the political world must be a Zelensky as there is a life full of that greedy American leader & the leader who started that dreadful invasion since 2022).

And secondly that the release date of the Mortal Kombat 2 movie (Sequel to the 2021 film Mortal Kombat) starring New Zealander Karl Urban (One of my fave Kiwi movie stars along with Temuera Morrison (The former Shortland Street, Once Were Warriors & Star Wars Episodes II: Attack of the Clones & III: Revenge of the Sith actor who is the presenter of the TV programme called Earth Oven with Temuera Morrison), & is the one who appeared in both LOTR: the Two Towers & the Return of the King movies as Eomer, as well as the 2005 film that came out of Doom as John 'Reaper' Grimm that he appeared alongside American pro wrestler turned film star Dwayne Johnson) as the world famous American action movie star Johnny Cage due to come out in November last year, had been changed to May this year instead throughout.

And thirdly into American politics that damn, why there has been a war on flag burning in the United States back in August last year? (Oh, hell! I did not need to see that!) Just because that dreadful American leader had signed an executive order therefore tightening the legislations regarding to desecrating the American flag thinking that it's anti-American stuff for which is prohibited (Well, it's sort of like America's war on abortion when the supreme court overturned Roe v Wade in 2022 therefore the Americans were in fact, weaponizing on abortion by prohibiting it meaning that it has been outlawed on that occasion).

And lastly that I had a great time at Frank Bar during the memorial lunch honouring one of my close friends of the late Carole Webb as I was there along with Pops, Carole's son Andy (Who I'll be seeing him this month), Kelsey (I'll be seeing her along with her husband also this month), Dad, Raewyn, Raewyn's daughter, Bryan, Viv, Gill & CJ (But unfortunately Kathryn could not make it as she opted to pull out of the last minute as she had to take care of her terminal illness stricken friend who is about to pass away anytime back in Northland), but I'm looking forward to the Christmas parade for that is due on December 7th last year scheduled for 2pm until 4pm, as well as seeing Aunty Tan & Rejean return to New Zealand shores for the first time since 2024, & Christmas coming up which is due on December 25th with a dinner at my old flat (And the pressies that I'm getting is money from Pops & the Brad Pitt F1 movie on Blu-ray from Dad that he's already got it for when he gives it to me).

So that is my 654th blog of the year 2026 (MMXXVI) & my 6th of this year, viva Ukraine.

Voodoo Child: My 5th Blog of the year 2026

Well, welcome to our readers here in New Zealand, & around the world, I'm Whetu Ngapo & you're tuning in to my KiwiAvenger blog here on blogger, but first in rugby that I've been rewatching the games between New Zealand & Wales from both way back in 2003 during the men's Rugby World Cup during the final pool game where there was a capacity crowd at Stadium Australia in Sydney, Australia, as there was a decent day for wingers such as both Joe Rokocoko & Doug Howlett bagging 2 tries each in a high scoring affair that both sides scored 90 points, & the one back in 2010 where we had our penultimate match at that ground of Carisbrook in Dunedin (The last time the AB's played at that ground was in 2011 in our pre-Tri Nations test against Fiji (For which the match had been scheduled to play in Christchurch at Lancaster Park for which was called off due to damage caused by the earthquake, so they had to move it to Dunedin instead at the Brook) that served as a fundraiser for the Canterbury earthquake appeal), as well as the last planned test at the House of Pain, a year before Forsyth Barr Stadium opened their doors back in 2011 for the men's Rugby World Cup tournament where we had our most dominant performance at that Carisbrook ground in anticipation of our last test of the year against the Welsh at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.

And secondly that I have revealed the story of my late close friend of the late Carole Webb that she was a tender loving caring lady just like the late Nan (Who would swim lengths of the swimming pool at the Splash Centre just like Carole does), then she always follows tennis every time we watch TV (And she likes rugby as well unlike the late Nan who would never ever watch rugby, but the last time I actually saw Carole before her passing was on the 9th of November where she came here to our place to watch the Scotland-AB's rugby test on TV), as well as she was such a great cook like making curries indeed (The last meal that she made for us, especially me & Pops was really decent according to the estimates), & of course having the sole child which is her son Andy (Who is heartbroken along with his wife Kelsey about it after Carole had passed, so too are her brothers Martin & Zaki as well as Martin's wife Leyla, Martin & Leyla's son Marat, Zaki's wife Aysha, Zaki's & Aysha's son Yasser & Zaki's & Aysha's daughter as well as Yasser's sister & Marc's wife Areje), but my last thoughts about her? Well, god bless her for all of her life that has been endured, god bless Carole.

And thirdly that the International Olympic Committee had introduced a clamp down on transgender athletes, thinking that it's unfair as I told Pops about it according to the Whanganui Chronicle newspaper article that I saw, even though with the Milan-Cortina Winter Games are about to, & due to get underway next year in February (And it was in February last year that the greedy American leader had signed an executive order that stamps out on any transgender athletes from competing under a current policy, even though with the IOC has shifted the responsibility for setting specific eligibility criteria to individual sports federations, moving away from a previous focus solely on testosterone levels).

And finally in cricket related news such as the latest in the Ashes as England had been humiliated by the dominant Aussies (Although the star of that team went to pace bowler Mitchell Starc who played a starring role as both Josh Hazlewood & regular captain Pat Cummins (Who'll be available for the 2nd test in Brisbane at the Gabba) not being there to grab his first seven fer for that has been a masterclass when he got 7 for 58 in 12.5 overs during the first innings as England (Who thought that they should've won when the Aussies were on the ropes) were bowled out for 172) by 8 wickets as they go 1 - 0 up in the Ashes series following the 1st test in Perth (And I watched it, but I didn't watch the rest of the test since Pops isn't even a cricket follower (He's mainly into rugby, not league), unless he watches a match involving New Zealand).

So that is my 653rd blog of the year 2026 (MMXXVI) & my 5th of this year, viva Ukraine.

Sunburn: My 4th Blog of the year 2026

Well, welcome to our readers here in New Zealand, & around the world, I'm Whetu Ngapo & you're tuning in to my KiwiAvenger blog here on blogger but first things first that the new schedule for the inaugural World Rugby Nations Cup has been released with the All Blacks set to play at home against France, Ireland & Italy, & away against England, Scotland & Wales before the finals take place at Allianz Stadium in Twickenham which is exactly inside the 2 international windows in both July & November this year (And the new competition has drawn parallels to both cricket's Champions Trophy, & football/soccer's Confederations Cup that they used to have).

And secondly that both occasions that my life had changed dramatically not once but twice according to the previous blogs that I did after both the late Nan passed away back in January 2016 (It's been a decade on since that fateful day on the 6th), then the late Carole Webb in November 17th last year, but let's not forget both of me & Pops friends such as Matt Pine who passed in August 2021 (That's exactly 5 years after the late Nan passed away) right before COVID Delta began & 4 years later that Leon Benbaruk also passed in March last year 8 months due to health problems before the late Carole who unfortunately passed away that shocked her son Andy & his wife Kels who are heartbroken & emotional about the loss of her which came through as a surprise.

And thirdly that I have revealed that my fave rugby commentator is, & it is Grant Nisbett (AKA the voice of New Zealand rugby), but I like Tony Johnson (Who is the other voice of New Zealand rugby), & it used to be the late Bill McLaren (The Scotsman who was once the voice of rugby until his retirement way back in 2002), but I also revealed that who my favourite cricket commentator, & it is Ian Smith (An ex-New Zealand player), but I like David Gower (A former England player) & Ian Bishop (A former player who is the current voice of West Indies cricket (It used to be the late Tony Cozier) as well as being a fanatic of gospel music according to one of his stories during commentary of the New Zealand-West Indies test at Bay Oval in Tauranga), & it used to be the late Richie Benaud (A former Aussie player who was once known as the voice of cricket), then the late Tony Greig (A South African born Englishman who once lived in Australia after his playing career had ended until his passing, & mainly supports 3 countries in cricket such as South Africa by birth, England by blood, & Australia by residency), & Bill Lawry (A retired commentator who doesn't watch cricket these days mainly because he is into pigeons).

And lastly that we're now under a strict lights out regime by 9:30pm (I should stop gaming by 9:15pm before the 15 minute cut off threshold applies) according to a new study that Pops is worried about the power usage who read that we must conserve power from now on overnight, especially the modem & one of the gaming consoles that it uses a heap (And it's mainly due to inflation that caused that dreadful invasion that has since been going since 2022 (But that damn war will never stop, because this could go on forever).

So that is my 652nd blog of the year 2026 (MMXXVI) & my 4th of this year, viva Ukraine.

Yellow Ledbetter: My 3rd Blog of the year 2026

Well, welcome to our readers here in New Zealand, & around the world, I'm Whetu Ngapo & you're tuning in to my KiwiAvenger blog here on blogger, but first & foremost that I have revealed that I'm almost suffering from PTSD (Post traumatic stress disorder, just exactly like my half bro Jans (Who currently lives in Hawke's Bay now, but is currently dealing with injuries that he's having that are getting worse, but I once heard a comment from Dad saying that Jansi is convinced to stay at Dad's place (Even though he might even go to Palmy hospital to visit a surgeon for a chance of repairing that serious injury (And Dad alluded to me before that he's attempting to get better in the future, not only that he is young, but my only problem for me is always being overweight mainly due to that risperidone medication that I take that caused of giving me a side effect (And I can't even take off it by the way), even though he is here at Christmas time) used to have after being bitten by my late pet dog Buck (Who got aggressive & dangerous as Dad alluded to me before a couple of years ago, needless to say) that was the one who got put down for both separate but unfortunate dog biting incidents meaning that he's an accident prone type of person), because of the loss of Carole on November 17th due to a drug overdose that she experienced, well, I'm stunned & heartbroken about the situation that we had nonetheless (And her good life had been ruined so she was gone then, & she thought that Carole was excited to see both Aunty Tan & Rejean who'll both be here in December last year, but recently that she's gone).

And secondly in the gaming department that the reason why I wanted to get both the digital versions of the Soulcalibur VI & Star Wars Battlefront II 2017 games on the PS4, is that I've already got a physical copies of the video game (The Soulcalibur VI one was expensive because it is been listed as NZ$119,95, but the Star Wars Battlefront II game was cheap because it had a discount of NZ$6.73 that lasts until December the 2nd this year, at 12:59 PM GMT), along with Gran Turismo 7 (PS4 & PS5), Jonah Lomu Rugby Challenge 4 (PS4 only), Rugby 25 (Also PS4 & PS5), Rugby Challenge 4 (Also PS4 only), Rugby League 26 (PS4 & PS5), & Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 (Also PS4 & PS5).

And thirdly onto the music stuff that the late Carole's son & Kelsey's husband Andy who revealed to me in a phone text that his fave Radiohead song is 'Weird Fishes', compared to my favourite song from the band which is 'Paranoid Android' that I always love (It used to be 'High & Dry', until I changed it to 'Paranoid Android' being my faves from the band), so he doesn't go overboard thinking about that one himself (And I gave my old Filter Short Bus album to him since I originally was going to give it to Benny who is coming to Whanganui next year (But I instead gave it to Andy) along with Kathryn due to the fact that my music album collection in my bedroom is full (I've got 36 music albums that I own at the moment, such as the 34 rock, 1 rave & 1 funk albums from the 20 different musicians & bands such as Metallica, U2, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Linkin Park, Nickelback, & others).

And finally that next time I'm texting Dad on the phone is me requesting a Formula One movie on Blu-ray for Christmas last year that has got Brad Pitt in it (And I say it's not a DVD version of it, but I have never seen the movie for my entire life when it was released in June to critical acclaim where they had rave reviews, but there are talks for a sequel to be made following the success of the movie compared to by far, the worst Hollywood sports movie in history called Driven released way back in 2001 for which is a CART Champ Car movie that I've seen it once, but Dad has got it for me, thinking that I have checked that it is Blu-ray, & he said yes), so he'll agree upon it (And I haven't contacted to Dad on the phone for 6 days from the 17th of November until the 23rd where I tried to ring both him & Pops to see how it usually works, & it did because it was fine (But I did see him 3 times on November 19th at Dempsey & Forest, then the short memorial service, & at Rutland for dinner where we paid tribute to her outstanding life throughout, but Dad once told me that it is fine not to do the interview about me growing a moustache to raise awareness for men's health during the month of Movember, & it'll be the 30th of November (And guess what? I think I appeared on the River City Press paper about the Movember stuff, am I right?).

So that is my 651st blog of the year 2026 (MMXXVI) & my 3rd of this year, viva Ukraine.

State of Love & Trust: My 2nd Blog of the year 2026

Well, welcome to our readers here in New Zealand, & around the world, I'm Whetu Ngapo & you're tuning in to my KiwiAvenger blog here on blogger but firstly that there was once a story about Martin Anderson becoming a hero by being able to identify license plate numbers on a car jacking ring back in the UK, so the police had a picture of him after one of the criminals got nabbed but caught, according to the comment that I remember a few months ago from the late Carole herself at Cactus Creme Cafe.

And secondly onto the rugby stuff as there was a story about former Welsh rugby player Gareth Thomas about Wales were looking to end 50 years of hurt when they played the All Blacks who fielded a star studded backline such as Mils Muliaina at fullback, then Doug Howlett on the right wing (Not Rico Gear), followed by Tana Umaga at centre way back in 2003 where AB's second five Dan Carter who thought Thomas said that he wasn't good enough as he might struggle, but Carter played well as the man who is referred to as DC scored a try, then kicked 6 conversions in New Zealand's total demolition over the Welsh at Waikato Stadium in Hamilton, according to the video clip that I saw from Pops phone in November last year.

And thirdly in the music department that I might definitely be a fan of the late Chris Cornell (Just like Neil Finn & his bands of both Split Enz & Crowded House, & the late David Bowie) as well as his bands of Soundgarden & Audioslave that he made famous of, even though he tragically passed away back in 2017 (And one of my fave songs from Cornell during his solo career would be 'Can't Change Me', but I like 'You Know My Name' from the James Bond 007 movie released way back in 2006 called Casino Royale, while my favourite Soundgarden song would be 'Black Hole Sun', but I also like 'Spoonman' & 'Rusty Cage' as well, & my fave Audioslave song would be 'Like a Stone', but I like 'Be Yourself' & 'Show Me How to Live'), the same year as his good friend of Chester Bennington (Who would ironically but shockingly took his own life on the late Cornell's birthday on July 20th in that year (The year after the late Bowie had passed away due to a terminal illness in January also back in 2016) for which was heartbreaking & tragic) from the American nu metal band Linkin Park.

And lastly that the new Cricket 26 game has come out on the 21st of November last year here in New Zealand (20th there, but I've got both the PS4 & PS5 versions of the game) where I absolutely enjoyed the game due to its improved graphics, all new matchmaking & further aggressive AI batting (And it features the brand spanking new Management Career, as well as a bigger & better Pro Team, in-depth Ashes mode, & expanded control on & off the field from enhanced gameplay & in-depth strategies), except that it has got a few bugs & glitches that seemed dreadful, broken & over the top, such as players standing at the same crease & balls disappearing (It was originally 4 stars that critics originally gave the ratings out of, but they changed it to 3 & a half due to its latest updates & patches that they released).

So that is my 650th blog of the year 2026 (MMXXVI) & my 2nd of this year, viva Ukraine.
